1. A braking device for vehicles, comprising:

  • a support element;

    a block of friction material supported by the support element; and

    at least one piezoceramic sensor supported by the support element and interposed between the block of friction material and the support element,wherein the support element supports at least one protective element that encloses the at least one piezoceramic sensor, andwherein the at least one protective element exhibits mechanical properties adapted to maintain the at least one piezoceramic sensor below its maximum load condition when an external compression force exceeding 400 kg/cm2 is applied to integrate the block of friction material on the support element.
